Okay, I hate to keep beating the dead horse on the Kanye thing, but I have to quote Danny Gokey's Twitter - "I have one question - How could you be so heartless?"
Simon: The decision saved your life. Zoe: Won't happen again, sir. Mal: Good. And thanks. I'm grateful. Zoe: It was my pleasure, sir.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Eric Gioia is my Council Member, and his wife just had a baby this morning, so I'm voting for him. Otherwise, is it wrong that I'm voting for women where possible?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Gioia came to my subway station and was like REALLY happy anytime someone stopped to shake his hand in an almost gosh golly gee, really sort of way. I may vote for him.

Here's the Gotham Gazette about the race: [link] I think the upshot is, they don't disagree on much, and the office is useless anyway.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think Patrick McEnroe was a complete heel for trying to press Serena for an apology during their doubles championship acceptance speech, and the crowd was right to boo him, and Venus was right to move him on. Time and place, man, time and place.

My practice on ballots where I know nothing about any of the candidates is to vote for women over men, on the principle that it helps correct gender inequity in public office and I'm less likely to help put an entitled former frat boy into power that way.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Federer, SHUT UP with your bad self. It's like watching Jesus play tennis or something. I expect him to walk on water next.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Man, I like when places that claim 100% customer service actually deliver on that promise.
I ordered a Daredevil trade from Amazon Marketplace. It was a volume 1 of 2; I ordered volume 2 from Amazon directly.
My package came today, with volume 2 and...Civil War: The Road to Civil War. Which has nothing to do with Daredevil, even though it was labeled as volume 1 of the trade I ordered.
I called the seller, and the guy was really nice, and he A) told me to just keep the wrong book and B) is sending me a bundle with volumes 1 and 2 since that's what they have on hand. So I can just return the volume 2 I got from Amazon, and I have come out way ahead on this deal.
(But this sort of goes back to what Hec was saying earlier about places that make all their money on the shipping. It's clearly less cost-effective for them to pay to have the wrong book shipped back and sell it again, somehow.)

Timelies all!
